Why small groups
Twelve people. Zero tour buses.
Small groups go where big tours can’t — family-run lodges, single-track trails and the restaurant with four tables.

Average group size is 9. Solo travelers make up 40% of every trip.
Local expert guides
Two certified guides per trip, born or living in the region they lead.
Carbon-balanced
We measure every trip’s footprint and fund verified reforestation to cover it.
Book with confidence
Free date changes up to 60 days out and a full refund if we cancel.

Questions before you go
How fit do I need to be?
Every trip is rated Easy, Moderate or Challenging with exact daily distances and elevation. If you can walk 3 hours with breaks, most Moderate trips are within reach.
Can I travel solo?
Absolutely — 40% of our travelers do. We’ll pair you with a same-gender roommate or you can pay a single supplement.
What’s included?
Guides, accommodation, most meals, activities, park fees and in-trip transport. International flights and travel insurance are not included.
Can you run a private trip?
Yes. Any trip can run privately for groups of 6 or more, on dates that suit you.
